-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Japan, a man has turned himself in to police, admitting he flew a
drone containing low levels of radioactive material onto the roof of the
prime minister's office. Yasuo Yamamoto has said he equipped the drone
with sand from Fukushima, site of the 2011 nuclear meltdown, as a
protest against Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's push to restart nuclear
plants.
